NASA's Juno spacecraft captured images of large-scale cyclones.


Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, it is a huge gas planet, it can be seen from Earth at night.This gas planet has drawn the attention of researchers, Jupiter being the largest in the solar system has 79 satellites, while researchers believe that any satellite of Jupiter can have life.

In the past few years, researchers have hinted at Jupiter's life on the satellite Titan, in search of this life, many space agencies have sent several astronauts to strike Jupiter and its satellite.To study the planet Jupiter, NASA sent voyager 1 and 2 to Jupiter's orbit in the 70's viewer.On 5 August 2011, NASA sent another space research vehicle, which we know as the Juno spacecraft.It took about 5 years for the Juno spacecraft to recognize the Jupiter orbit, NASA has built the Juno spacecraft to study the Jupiter.

A few days ago Juno, a NASA spacecraft, caught an amazing scene in the Southern Hemisphere during Jupiter's strike.In the image above, you can see,in this image, massive cyclones have been captured near the south pole of Jupiter,as well chaotic clouds of the folded filamentary region - the turbulent region between the orange band and the brown polar region.

The Juno spacecraft caught a large number of cyclones while the Juno spacecraft took off closest to the Jupiter, while Juno was moving away from the Jupiter.During that time the Juno was traveling at a speed of about 85,000 mph, and it was slightly higher than it was an hour ago, and until reaching the nearest cloud top, the Juno spacecraft moved more than 130,000 mph relative to Jupiter The speed was reached.

Using the data of JunoCamer imager of Juno spacecraft, citizen scientist Ali Abbasi created this image.This image was taken by Juno at 3:29 pm on November 3, 2019, as Juno performed the 23rd close flyby of Jupiter.When this image was taken by Juno,the Juno spacecraft was about 65,500 miles away from the planet Jupiter, at a latitude of about -70 degrees.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Reveals New Details of the Orion Nebula’s Star Formation.

  This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the Orion Nebula (Messier 42, M42), the nearest star-forming region to Earth, located about 1,500 light-years away. A captivating new image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope offers an extraordinary look into the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star-forming region to Earth. Located just 1,500 light-years away, this nebula is visible to the naked eye below the three stars forming Orion's "belt." The region is home to hundreds of newborn stars, including two protostars featured in the image: HOPS 150 and HOPS 153. Named after the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey, conducted with ESA’s Herschel Space Observatory, the protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153 provide key insights into the early stages of star formation. HOPS 150, visible in the upper-right corner of the image, is a binary star system, with two young stars orbiting one another. These protostars are surrounded by small dusty disks, where material from th...

New Method Detects Small Asteroids in Main Belt, Offering Insight for Planetary Defense.

  An international team of physicists, led by MIT researchers, has developed a groundbreaking method to detect small asteroids, as small as 10 meters in diameter, within the main asteroid belt. These space rocks, ranging from the size of a bus to several stadiums wide, were previously undetectable using traditional methods. The team's discovery, detailed in a paper published in Nature, could significantly improve tracking of potential asteroid impactors, aiding planetary defense efforts. The main asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, is home to millions of asteroids, but until now, scientists could only detect objects roughly a kilometer in diameter. The new detection technique, which utilizes the "shift and stack" method, is able to identify much smaller asteroids, even those far from Earth, enabling more precise orbital tracking. This breakthrough is crucial for planetary defense, allowing scientists to spot near-Earth objects that may pose a threat in the fu...

XSPECT Payload Successfully Validates Performance through Cas A Observation.

  The XSPECT instrument captures a detailed spectrum of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), encompassing both the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) background and the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB). The flux observed above 8 keV predominantly results from the combined contributions of CXB and GCR. The presented spectrum, depicted in the figure, is derived from a cumulative integration time of 20 ksec, collected across multiple orbits, providing valuable insights into the X-ray emissions associated with Cas A. XPoSat, India's inaugural X-ray polarimetric mission, has achieved a significant as the XSPECT instrument captures its initial observations from the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. Launched on January 1, 2024, XPoSat is equipped with two co-aligned instruments, namely the POLarimeter Instrument in X-rays (POLIX) and X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing (XSPECT). This mission is designed to unravel the mysteries of cosmic X-ray sources. While POLIX focuses on examining X-ray po...
